Xue Chen asked Lin Xiongtian to help him decide which area in Sunan City would be best for opening an antique store. After all, Lin Xiongtian was considered a local snake in Sunan City, so he knew this better and could avoid spending time on investigation.
To Xue Chen's surprise and surprise, Lin Xiongtian not only helped pick out the location, but even found a suitable store. He was just waiting for him to go over and have a look. If he was satisfied, he could rent or buy it directly.
Come down.
Xue Chen drove to Sunan City that day and met Lin Xiongtian, whom he had not seen for a while, in the tall and grand office building of Tianyun Jewelry.
The last time Lin Xiongtian met Xue Chen was at his daughter's birthday dinner. On that day, Xue Chen presented a string of pearl necklaces worth millions, which stunned the entire audience.
But I have heard a lot about Xue Chen, and I even heard about what happened at the anniversary celebration party of Excellence Antique Shop from the marketing director Qin Lan, who took out three pieces in a row that were worth 70 to 80 million in total.
The antiques stepped on the people who came to the door to find trouble, and they sounded so high-spirited.
In addition, he also learned from other sources that Xue Chen was very close to the provincial governor Hao Yunfeng, and his figure always appeared in Sanhu Bay for a period of time.
Sanhu Bay is the residence of provincial leaders, so many pairs of eyes are staring at it. Usually, a stranger will immediately attract attention. Xue Chen is naturally stared at by many eyes, and they are all surprised that Xue Chen and Hao Sheng
He had a close relationship with the tree and wondered how Xue Chen climbed up the second thickest tree in Yunzhou Province.
"The best place to open an antique store is in an area similar to an antique street. However, the antique streets in southern Jiangsu are not as prosperous as those in Yang'an and Haicheng, and there are no suitable vacant shops. Secondly, there are bustling businesses.
It can bring a lot of traffic to the street. The two shops I'm interested in are both in busy commercial streets, but I don't know if you will like them."
Lin Xiongtian and Xue Chen were sitting on the leather sofa and said with a smile.
"It's really troublesome, Mr. Lin." Xue Chen thanked him.
Lin Xiongtian waved his hand carelessly: "It's nothing. Well, Qin Lan has returned from the capital. She will take you to see for yourself those two shops that I think are very suitable for opening an antique shop, and yours."
You can also take the emerald back home. Of course, if you intend to sell it, our company will also give you a satisfactory price, haha."
Xue Chen stood up and said with a faint smile: "If I sell it, I will definitely sell it to Tian Yun."
In another office, he met Qin Lan who had returned from the capital. Xue Chen first congratulated her, and then the two of them left Tianyun Jewelry together and drove to visit two prosperous shops in the area.
It has to be said that the location Lin Xiongtian chose is very good. Xue Chen is very satisfied with the two shops, but when comparing the two sides, he is more optimistic about the 200-square-meter two-story shop along the street.
Sitting in the car, Qin Lan turned her head and said: "The first shop we looked at belongs to an individual. We briefly communicated with the owner that it can be rented or bought, but the second shop belongs to Shenhong Group.
The real estate company can only rent and not sell to the outside world."
"It's no wonder that the Shenhong Group has a lot of money and is not short of money. Naturally, they won't sell such a store in an excellent location easily." Xue Chen said with a smile.
There are five most famous private enterprise groups in Yunzhou Province. Their headquarters are located in Yang'an, Haicheng and Sunan cities respectively. Yang'an has two, Haicheng has two. There is only one in southern Jiangsu, which is Shenhong Group.
Sunan City is a well-deserved leading private enterprise, with subsidiaries all over Sunan City.
Xue Chen thought about it. He hates trouble and prefers to buy it directly with full payment. He can do whatever he wants. He doesn't like the leasing situation, so he definitely doesn't buy it directly to save worry. However, after repeated consideration, he discussed it with Qin Lan.
After some deliberation, I finally decided to rent the second shop simply because it was much better than the first one and was more suitable.
With Qin Lan's help in handling and communicating, Xue Chen reached a leasing contract with the real estate department of Shenhong Group that day, paid the deposit, and only waited for the money to be delivered within seven days.
Returning to the headquarters of Tianyun Jewelry Company again, Xue Chen finally saw his necklace made of emeralds. When he took it out from a long and exquisite box, Xue Chen's eyes lit up.
After receiving it, I couldn't help but admire: "No wonder your company won the silver award. The level of designers is really high."
The entire necklace is naturally made up of his emerald gemstone with a market value of more than 6 million as the biggest selling point. It is wrapped in platinum with exquisite and fine patterns engraved on it. It exudes a green light under the light, and is surrounded by various gemstones.
Eight of them are like stars holding the moon, which is ingenious.
"Mr. Lin knows that you will not sell this emerald, but it would be a pity to remove this necklace. We can't bear it, so Mr. Lin plans to give this necklace to you directly. After all, our company
I have already received the silver medal, so I should just be grateful." Qin Lan said.
Xue Chen smiled and shook his head: "How can that be done? Not to mention the design and craftsmanship fees, the value of the remaining eighteen gems alone is probably not a small amount. I will pay according to the price. As for this item
I won’t be polite about the necklace, I’ll keep it for collection.”
Qin Lan looked at the necklace in Xue Chen's hand, feeling a little dizzy in her eyes. She looked at it slightly absent-mindedly and sighed slightly: "I don't know that woman can wear this necklace with your own hands. I think he will definitely
Very happy and lucky.”
Such a necklace will not drop in price even if it is displayed on international jewelry stores. It can be regarded as top-notch jewelry and will be sought after and recognized.
After driving back to Haicheng with the necklace, Xue Chen called Wei Minghua to Zhuo Zhuo Antique Shop, introduced him to Wang Dong, and then talked about the situation in Sunan.
In the next few days, Xue Chen paid three years' rent to Shenhong Group in one payment, and a decoration team from Wang Dong's father Wang Tianhai's construction company also rushed to Southern Jiangsu and began to decorate the store.
However, Xue Chen no longer intervened in these matters and left them all to Wei Minghua to handle. As long as the decoration is completed and the goods are distributed, the store shelves will basically be set up. What needs to be focused on in the future is how to run the business.
Get up, Xue Chen already has some thoughts and ideas on this point.
As for the allocation of shares in the antique store, Xue Chen had not discussed it with Wang Dong and agreed that one person would contribute half of the capital. However, when he was about to leave the antique store that day, Wang Dong stopped him and offered that he did not want to hold half of the shares, saying that he did not want to own half of the shares.
Thirty-thirds was enough, which surprised Xue Chen.
Wang Dong sat on the sofa, with a rare solemn expression on his face. He looked directly at him and said with emotion: "Old Xue, I have always been grateful to you. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Others don't know it, but you should know that Excellence is here."
Before you came, I was in such a mess, unable to make ends meet, and my father was so angry that he said I was a prodigal. But since you came, everything has changed. You opened a branch and made money with me that I couldn't even imagine before.
number."
Xue Chen shook his head and laughed: "What are you talking about? If you want to thank me, you should thank Uncle Wang. It was him who gave you the capital to open the store, and it was he who decided to let me in."
"Of course I will go and thank my dad. One day I will find a beautiful wife and give him a fat grandson. He will definitely be happy from ear to ear." Wang Dong scratched his head and continued, "Speaking of which,
So this time I will not hold so many shares in the Sunan branch, otherwise I will feel guilty. It is all your responsibility to find a store. Now Wei Minghua is busy and I have done nothing. If I just take out a
The money came to account for half of the shares, and I felt very uncomfortable."
"Dongzi, you're thinking too much. It's just an antique shop, so there's no need to care so much." Xue Chen shook his head and was surprised. He didn't expect that Wang Dong, who was usually smiling and laughing, was thinking about so many things.
Wang Dong rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, soothed it for a while, then lowered his head slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for you, Lao Xue, 80% of Joyo would have closed down now, and I would definitely not be as leisurely as I am now.
So I'm really satisfied with the current situation. I also know that Lao Xue is doing big things and doesn't care about the shares of an antique store. But this doesn't mean that I don't care in my heart. So Lao Xue, don't try to persuade me. Just
That’s settled.”
Seeing Wang Dong's resolute attitude, Xue Chen couldn't say anything else. He chuckled and asked, "Dongzi, can you tell with your eyes that I am doing something important?"
"Hey." When Wang Dong saw Xue Chen agreeing, he immediately regained his previous energy and looked proud, "Old Xue, although I look a bit stupid, I'm not stupid. I know that you must be inhumane.
It’s a secret, right?”
Xue Chen smiled and said nothing, took a sip of tea, and looked at the brother in front of him who had been living in a bunk bed with him for four years.
"I don't ask, but that doesn't mean I can't tell. I'm just confused and don't ask. Although I know that even if I ask, you probably won't tell me, but I know that you don't tell because of your difficulties.
That's why you refuse to say it, right? Lao Xue, if you really have any obstacles that you can't overcome by yourself, or pits that you can't climb out of, you must tell me. Even if you give up these two hundred kilograms of meat, I will give you a push.
Bundle!"
Wang Dong became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end his lips trembled slightly. He even reached out and grabbed one of Xue Chen's hands, breathing heavily, with red eyes, and said in a low and decisive voice.
"I didn't expect that Fatty, you are not only wide and fat, but also have a very pretentious heart. There are so many obstacles that you can't overcome. Just put your heart in your stomach. When you have free time, think more about where to pick up hot girls.
That's the right way, I'll go back first, just sit down, don't let the guy see you like this and think I did something to you, then you can't explain clearly."
Xue Chen said with a smile, got up and went downstairs, walked out of the antique store, stood at the door and looked at the street with traffic, and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. (To be continued)
